Local Hills District Snake Handler — Licensed, Experienced & Wildlife-Safe

If you’ve spotted a snake on your property anywhere within The Hills Shire Council, remain calm and contact a licensed professional straight away. Sydney Snake Catcher provides fast, humane and fully licensed snake relocation for homes, businesses, workplaces and public spaces throughout the region. Our experienced handlers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, offering reliable emergency response whenever a snake is sighted.

Snakes are commonly encountered across The Hills Shire — from established suburbs such as Baulkham Hills, Castle Hill and Kellyville, to newer residential developments and bush-adjacent areas including Rouse Hill, Box Hill and Glenorie. With creek systems, bushland reserves and semi-rural pockets running through the region, snakes may enter backyards, sheds, garages, construction sites and outdoor areas while searching for shelter or food.

Our team specialises in identifying and safely capturing both venomous and non-venomous snakes, including Eastern Brown Snakes, Red-bellied Black Snakes and Carpet Pythons. Every snake is relocated to suitable natural habitat, protecting your family, pets and the animal itself. No matter where you are located within The Hills Shire, you can rely on a prompt response from a trained expert who understands local snake behaviour.

If you see a snake, do not attempt to handle it yourself. Keep people and pets well away from the area and contact us immediately for professional assistance.

What to do while you wait...

1

Stay calm

Snakes don’t want to harm you — most bites happen when people panic or try to catch them. Take a deep breath and move slowly away.
2

Keep your distance

Stand at least several metres back and don’t try to touch, trap or scare the snake. This keeps both you and the snake safe until help arrives.
3

Keep your children and pets away

Make sure kids and pets are safely inside the house or in a secure area. Curious pets and children can easily make the situation worse.
4

Watch where the snake goes

If it’s safe to do so, watch from a distance and note where the snake goes. This information helps the catcher locate it quickly when they arrive.
Never try to capture or kill snakes—this is both dangerous and illegal.

Common The Hills Shire Council Reptile Species

The Hills Shire’s warm climate, creek networks and surrounding bushland create favourable conditions for native snake species, particularly during spring and summer when activity increases. Residential properties can unintentionally attract snakes by providing shelter and food sources such as rodents, frogs and small reptiles. Staying aware and acting quickly when a snake is sighted helps reduce risk and ensures snakes are safely relocated.

The Hills Shire Council Snake Catching & Snake Removal Services

The Hills Shire includes a mix of suburban neighbourhoods, bushland reserves and semi-rural landscapes that support a wide range of wildlife. Snakes commonly move along creek lines, drainage corridors and vegetated areas while travelling between feeding and shelter sites, and may occasionally pass through nearby residential properties as part of this natural movement.

Areas with long grass, dense garden beds, retaining walls, timber piles and sheds can offer attractive shelter, particularly during warmer weather or following rainfall. Properties located near bushland edges, creeks or undeveloped land may experience increased snake activity at certain times of year. Understanding how snakes interact with the local environment helps residents recognise why sightings occur and encourages calm, informed responses when snakes are encountered.
